Jack Rendall Memorial Cup - 17/18 Mar 2018

17/3/2018

Saturday 17th March

Last Saturday saw Kirkwall Red play Kirkwall Whites and Kirkwall Greens play Kirkwall Stripes in the latest round of the Jack Rendall Memorial Cup. Similar to the previous week, there were unavoidable call-offs and unavailability so 10 players from the Primary 4 and Primary 5 section and 9 players from the Primary 6 and Primary 7 played.

Both matches were played in thirds so that the players were able to get enough game time to build skill levels and stamina. The Kirkwall players seemed to relish the proposition of playing against one another so the level of intensity was high from the first whistle. The tackling, offloads and support play were really good this week which meant that the games were played at a high tempo resulting in longer phases of play.

Further cancellations Sat 3rd March

2/3/2018

*** GAMES OFF ***
Unfortunately due to the weather the matches between Orkney RFC Women and Shetland Ladies and the 1st XV v Perthshire RFC have had to be postponed.
They will rescheduled for a later date.

The mini-rugby game between East & West has also been called off and the U16s game due to be played on Sunday has been postponed until next weekend.

Kirkwall Mini Rugby Cancelled Sat 3rd March

1/3/2018

Thorfinn and Neil have postponed the Kirkwall v Kirkwall Jack Rendall Memorial Cup matches that were planned for Saturday the 3rd March due to player welfare concerns on the icy/snowy pitch and the cold windchill and wintry showers that are forecast during that period.
The game will be rescheduled for another date.

As a result of the postponement, there will NOT be any Kirkwall Mini Training this Saturday.
The next rugby will be the Dounby Tournament on the 10th March so keep an eye on the Facebook page.
